GO Dating Apps and get prepared

Tinder, Bumble, Raya, Hinge, Happn, Dabble, Match.com, not to mention an app with the audacity to call itself Coffee Meets Bagel, the endless possibilities (at once vaguely promising and deeply foreboding) of Instagram DMs, and finally, the lowest form of communication known to man, Facebook messenger: Dating apps and virtual flirting are so common and popular that STDs are increasing at rapid rates, not to put a damper on anything. The point is, if you’re going to meet people like this, you need to come prepared. Here’s your survival kit, sans stash of condoms:

3. Agent Nateur N°3 Deodorant Holi(Stick): In order to maintain the upper hand on a date, you need to not smell bad. This high-end deodorant is made with coconut oil, avocado butter, raw honey, lavender and eucalyptus to make you feel especially fresh.

4. Olas Marine Bio-Active Mouthrinse: The same goes for your breath. Inspired by the natural cleansing ability of the ocean, this mouthwash has marine bio-active ingredients and no harsh chemicals.

5. Puffco Pro 2 Vaporizer: Maintain your cool before, during and after with the help of the slim, sleek Puffco, hailed for its portability, durability and ability to offer a quick hit.

6. Burn It Lighter Case: A brushed metal lighter accessory with an aggressive yet possibly empowering message is helpful to have handy.

7. Windsor Smith Roar Suede Platform Sandals: So you want to wear heels, but you also want to be able to get the hell out of there in a hot second if it’s a total disaster? The answer is the chunky platform.

10. Glossier Lip Gloss: All shine and no color: If you get lucky enough to meet someone you actually want to make out with, that matte red lipstick that seemed like such a good idea when you put it on won’t get in your way.
